Camera straps recommendation. Which has the lowest or no failure rate?

You posted in your other thread 2 days ago. It's almost the same question and you got many answers.

Who makes a genuine professional neck camera strap that will not fail?

Edit: I see now, you started this thread the same day you posted in your other thread. You seem to think straps fail but I can't see any evidence of anyone having failures.
There are however many reports of various straps lasting many years with heavier loads than yours.

Is there a story behind your concern of straps failing?

A fair question that deserves to be answered in a complete, detailed, and forthtelling manner. . I also would like to know why the OP has concerns about straps failing, when strap failure is not "a thing". . I would also like to know why the OP isn't satisfied with the Canon strap that comes with every new DSLR.

Man...and I thought *I* was OCD!!!!! That video is a little indepth, eh?

Seriously...they make straps other than Canons...????? UHMAZIN!!!!!!!!

As long as the the clasps, hooks, buckles, other doohickies that hold the strap in place, etc., secure the strap from slipping I don't think any of the nylon straps would have a problem holding a camera. Shoot, I've used nylon straps to skid logs with my Jeep Cherokee on many occasion...not to mention pulling cars out of mudholes, etc.,. And, sometimes (usually for the stuck cars) I might have to use smaller straps intended for other uses. Now you got me thinking...in a tight could I use a camera strap to pull a....

Get OpTech straps...many of them are available with 'Binocular ends' 3/8" web which have no plastic quick release for attachement to the camera, although many have a QR allowing you to shortend by removing the shoulder padded section, such as for tripod work.

This one even lacks the QR which allows you to remove the shoulder padded section, such as for tripod work.

In the 13 years I've been into this little endeavor, I've never heard of or seen anyone having the material fail *any* of the available strap systems fail. Even the thinner, older straps from Peak Designs (which I use, myself) are made from the same nylon used for seatbelts; which is literally designed to support extraordinary human weights during car crashes. There have been many, many reports (and my own experiences) where the system failed at one of the connection points.

In referencing straps that have "...round cords rubbing against a metal slot", I am assuming you're referencing the "pucks" for the PD systems that connect to lug points. As a user of those since the very first launch of PD, they wear *extremely* well and maintain their strength just fine; I also had initial worries about abrasion resistance/effects there.

I would find pretty much any, good gauge nylon strap and focus concerns on the connection points. Lug connections on the body/QA plate being the better option, over things that connect at the tripod mount screw. Locking clips/carabiners or the PD pucks being solid options with minimal points of failure. Spring clips or plastic snap clips being less desirable, due to simple pressures being able to disconnect those.

The largest point of failure I've seen with straps is when there is a single connection, at a screw in tripod mount. Hanging like that tends to cause a lot of rotational movement while walking, etc that can cause the screw to come loose or to bump the lens release triggering a drop.

So, TLR is really just look for (or craft up) 2, solid connecting points for your strap and you should be golden. The actual strap is much less concerning.
